Saw AYLI on the Commons last night. Way, way not my favorite Shakespeare comedy.

On the line "newfangled as an ape":

newfangled: c.1470, "addicted to novelty," lit. "ready to grasp at all new things," from adj. newefangel "inclined to take" (c.1386), from new + -fangel, from root of O.E. fon "to capture" (see fang). Sense of "lately come into fashion" first recorded 1533. (dictionary.com.)

So he's calling her easily distracted. Huzzah!

This next semester is going to be generally pretty intense. I'm registered for 20 credits, but I knew that wasn't going to last and I think I'll drop HDK's phage class unless the syllabus seems unusually compelling. Also, if I keep having to talk people down from hysterical and uninformed accusations of my incompetent, elitist failure, being CORe VPSI is going to take a bigger emotional toll than I really want it to. We'll see how that goes. Alisha (Olin BioE prof) and I met at Ula Cafe in JP yesterday and talked about grad school and SCOPE and confocal microscopes and faculty drama and it was good and grounding and purpose-giving. Not that I really know what I want my life to look like, but I have a better idea of how to take the first steps. Also, noticed that I have unrealistically high expectations for myself and corresponding insecurity in essentially all aspects of my life! Should work on that, somehow?

Okay! Let's make this happen.
